The TickId type represents a specific tick in a deterministic simulation.

A tick typically corresponds to a duration of 16 ms or 32 ms, but it can denote any positive integer time period, excluding zero. The TickId is implemented as a u32, allowing for a wide range of tick values.

Example

use tick_id::TickId;

let tick_id = TickId::new(1);
println!("Tick ID: {}", tick_id);

Operations

The TickId type supports addition and subtraction operations, allowing for easy manipulation of tick values. Overflow and underflow are checked during arithmetic operations to ensure safety.

📦 tick-id

Session unique Tick ID that specifies a specific tick in a deterministic simulation.

A tick represents any positive integer time period, excluding zero, with typical durations being 16 ms or 32 ms.

TickId is represented as a u32. With each tick equivalent to 16 ms, the maximum duration is approximately 68,719,476 seconds, which translates to about 2.18 years.

“2.18 years should be enough for everyone!”
